While Tua Tagovailoa was a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, Kyler Murray shocked many to take home the trophy at the PlayStation Theater in New York City on Saturday night. Going into the ceremony, Kyler Murray held the lead in the Heisman race, according to OddsShark.
However, Tagovailoa had been a favorite through the whole season. Murray had a consistently strong season, and many thought the Sooners quarterback would overtake Tagovailoa after he left the SEC Championship game early with an injury that brought in Jalen Hurts to lead the Crimson Tide to victory over Georgia.
